If anyone with an Xbox has been considering pre-ordering this, there's a deal going on at the MS store. Put down $60 for the game, and you get 1600 free Xbox Live points + free next day shipping with promo code freeshipesc2012-over. I just tested that code, and it works.Sorry, I don't want to sound like an advert. Just genuinely trying to share info. In no way am I affiliated with Microsoft.

Okay, that might sound really nice and humble, but if I were on the MGS5 team, I'd be wanting to kick old Kojo in the junk right about now!

Dude the guy always looks like a kid. I always expect Kojima to be this either big badass, or maybe some professorly dude, but he internally looks like some scrawny 18-year-old emo kid. Well, he sure whines enough, I guess.

I'm all for creative people giving props to each other, but when they speak for an entire team that's working their butt off, it's kind of low to start saying, "your game is better than mine". Sure, it sounds gracious, but how would you feel if you were one of the employees working on his game?

I'm admittedly torn on this game... Not whether I want to buy it or not. That's not the question. It's whether I should buy it now, or wait for a price drop. I usually do the latter when buying games, but I'm so pumped to play this, I'm not sure I can. The reviews and videos make it seem like it's awesome (which I'm sure it is). I hate paying new game prices, as I feel it's straight robbery, but I may have to make an exception here... Decisions!!
